Appium 2 - unable to find chromedriver

The problem

Appium is not able to find chromedriver, though it is present in the chromedriver directory.

Environment

• Appium version (or git revision) that exhibits the issue: Appium v2.0.0-beta.33
• Last Appium version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable): Appium v1.22.3
• Desktop OS/version used to run Appium: Windows 10
• Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe): v16.15.0
• Npm or Yarn package manager: 8.5.5
• Mobile platform/version under test: Android 12
• Real device or emulator/simulator: Emulator
• Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: Appium CLI

Details

I’m running appium with the following args --allow-insecure=adb_shell,chromedriver_autodownload. From the logs I can see that it’s downloading 2 chromedrivers and those drivers are present in the specified directory. But appium still fails with an error [debug] [Chromedriver@d1f0] Error: No Chromedriver found that can automate Chrome '91.0.4472'. See https://github.com/appium/appium/blob/master/docs/en/writing-running-appium/web/chromedriver.md for more details Running appium 1 on the same pc works as it should.
